A Florida man has been indicted for mailing a live tarantula to his girlfriend, the Tampa Tribune has reported.

The daily said John Galarza, 37, of Apollo Beach, Florida, was charged with sending "a non-mailable matter" with intent to kill or injure.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

The paper did not say why Galarza sent the package nor whether his girlfriend received it.
